Choosing Beneficiaries for Your VEBA Account
Learn what a beneficiary is and how to add or change beneficiaries on your VEBA account.
Please note, due to IRS regulations, not all VEBAs are eligible for beneficiaries. If you are unsure if your VEBA allows beneficiaries, please contact your employer or Further customer service to find out if your plan allows VEBA beneficiaries.
What is a beneficiary?
A beneficiary is a person, group of people, trust, or estate that receives the funds in your account when you die.
Unused funds upon death
After the death of an account holder, the balance of a VEBA account can be used by the surviving spouse and eligible dependents.
In cases where there is no surviving spouse or children, the account passes to the beneficiaries if beneficiaries are allowed under your VEBA.
